LAWRENCE, Kan. — A college professor whose planned course on creationism and intelligent design was canceled after he derided Christian conservatives said he was beaten by two men along a rural road early Monday.
University of Kansas religious studies professor Paul Mirecki said the men referred to the class when they beat him on the head, shoulders and back with their fists, and possibly a metal object, the Lawrence Journal-World reported.
"I didn't know them," Mirecki said of his assailants, "but I'm sure they knew me."
Messages left by the Associated Press on Mirecki's cell phone were not immediately returned.
Sheriff's Lt. Kari Wempe said Mirecki reported the attack just before 7 a.m.
The professor said he confronted the men after they were tailgating his vehicle along a road south of Lawrence. "I'm mostly shaken up, and I got some bruises and sore spots," he said.
Mirecki planned to offer a spring course called "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies" after the Kansas Board of Education decided to include more criticism of evolution in science standards for elementary and secondary students.
Last week, Mirecki asked the university to cancel the class after he created a furor by sending an e-mail to a student organization mocking Christian fundamentalists.
Mirecki had referred to religious conservatives as "fundies," and said a course describing intelligent design as mythology would be a "nice slap in their big fat face." He has apologized for those comments.

And besides I don't want my 15 minutes to be over - waaaaaah!
Ditto, he's lying.
...one wearing a red visor and wool gloves and both wearing jeans.
LOL
For some reason, I'm getting flashbacks of my freshman-year Scenic Design & Stage Lighting course. I have no idea why.
Sorry to go off-topic. Now, where did I leave that tall glass of blood?
No, no, no. If this is a fake hate crime, he would NEVER identify anyone in a lineup.
That way he can complain for years to come that the police must be in league with those violent right-wing Christians, for they have never brought his attackers to justice...
I suspect that Mary Mapes and "Lucy Ramirez" did this heinous deed to distract attention from their own transgressions. Mapes wants a new book deal and she wants to be the replacement anchor for Dan Blather's spot instead of "Little commie Katie" Couric.

FYI:
Wool Gloves
I'm not supposed to tell, but you've figured it out so I'll tell what I know. It was Bob Stoops, wearing that same red visor that he trades for the white one sometimes.
Must have had something to do with all those recruits going to KU so they could have the privilege of taking that dude's class.
Ever see the movie "Liar, Liar?"
Sounds like whatever Mirecki got wasn't bad enough.
Does anyone know which side this fool bats for? I can't help but wonder if this was "hook-up" gone wrong.
Don't look at me. Since I started the diet, I only drink Blood Lite.
But that's less filling.
How do you beat yourself up?
Ever see the movie "Liar, Liar?"
Actually, I thought of the great scene in “Fight Club” where Ed Norton kicked his own ass in his boss’s office.
